2 freaking hour emergency maintenance... and now... DOH!

[SevenUp / TCA7]

Freaking LOGIN QUEUE...

1903 of (number keeps increasing) but the first number isn't going down.

5 minutes ago was 1903 of 2200 something... now at 1903 of 4800+

How many hours until the LOGIN QUEUE resolves itself.

Waited patiently for 3 to 4 weeks to play as a Romulan Character now this baloney!

Romulan Character at level 10 just before the Emergency Maintenance... just want to get back in long enough to get my duty officers at level 11 then play on my main Character (Level 50 Federation Tactical) officer to work on reputation items and the Nukara Reputation.

SIGH!

[SevenUp / TCA7]

1903 of 7500+ and it never goes down.

Can we PLAY soon... This is getting out of hand!

Yall are better off trying late at night or early morning.

i went in with no trouble around the time the servers went back up, went to change characters to switch some stuff around and BAM, hell of a long waiting list compared to how it was earlier today.

owell.

What it comes down to is PWE and Cryptic wasnt equipped for such large demand.

[SevenUp / TCA7]

It is 9:45 PM Central Time Zone in USA where I live.

I play after 8:00 PM to about 4:00 AM my time zone WHEN I get to play.

That equates to 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM on USA Pacific Time Zone.

Now waiting at 1903 of 9200+

This is typical it seems of PWE lately.

[[☥] - CJ -]

nah not typical at all.

its because of the expansion and all the hype its been given. nothing more nothing less.
as i said, they werent prepared for such a large demand.

[ScurvyRobot]

I just downloaded this game ... is there a queue every time you login? or is it just a product of the down time?

[[☥] - CJ -]

its a product of the new expansion, as i explained above.

the queue is up to 12,350 now lolz

[FaTaL_G]

6179 of 12006 @ 10:52EST. I feel like a large Borg hive collective mind. Must resist urge to cancel & re-attempt login, I know it will be futile!

[SevenUp / TCA7]

It should NEVER take 15 to 45 minutes to get into the game when the servers are up!

1903 of 12000+ now.

In about 6 minutes almost 3000 more people are waiting to get in the game.

Come on PWE this is NOT acceptable.

You at PWE wouldn't like it if you were the one waiting to get in the game.... Have some compassion and help us out please!

[ScurvyRobot]

I see now lol that comment came up when the page reloaded after I posted

[[☥] - CJ -]

Well this is what they get for only having one server..

Guys, the server can only handle 500-1000 people at one time IF that.

so yeah ur gonna be waitin a while.

[FaTaL_G]

CJ, I'm not trolling - but I must ask, where do you have confirmation that the server can handle 500-1000 at a time if that? Are you randomly tossing out numbers?

[Knowing something about socket communication is why I ask]

[EricStone]

I am sitting at 5878 of 14,626 And that was after the earlier emergency maintenance.

[Cιƈι Cɾσʂʂԋҽαɾƚ]

Siting at 12048 is bullsh!t to say the least.

[SevenUp / TCA7]

Seems that even the lifetime subscribers are seeing the same LOGIN QUEUE issue.

Now over 16200 in line and the numbers are just jumping up at an alarming rate.

Very disappointing.

Hi SevenUp, this must be your first MMO ever so I can appreciate your unfounded concern, either that or you are a whiny moron. A major release has just come out for the game so it is under the type of load it would never normally see. This combined with the preferential login for gold members (I dropped from 2000ish to 90 while writing this) will mean that F2P players basically won't get to play for the next day or so if the pressure keeps up. Anyone who has ever witnessed an mmo launching a big update knows that it will be chaos for a day or so afterwards.
